Harrison (1883-1927) was a brilliant writer, orator, educator, critic, and political activist. Historian Joel A. Rogers, in World’s Great Men of Color, described him as the foremost Afro-American intellect of his time and one of America’s greatest minds. A. Philip Randolph described him as “the father of Harlem radicalism.” Harrison’s views on race and class profoundly influenced a generation of New Negro militants and “common people,” including Randolph and Marcus Garvey. Considered more race conscious than Randolph and more class conscious than Garvey, Harrison is considered the key ideological link in the two great trends of the Black Liberation Movement — the labor and civil rights trend associated with Martin Luther King Jr., and the race and nationalist trend associated with Malcolm X.
